Learn What’s New in Moodle

submitted by tensen@augsburg.edu

In response to requests from faculty, this year’s Moodle is more visually appealing and user-friendly than ever before, featuring drop-down menus and a “drawer” that streamlines navigation, search tools that let you quickly access courses and isolate student forum posts, and integrated audio/video recording options. It also includes a variety of pre-formatted templates that let you quickly customize your course with a variety of formats, styles, and fonts. Moodle 2018-19 isn’t your grandfather’s Moodle! (Adjunct instructors who attend this event are eligible for a $50 stipend.)

On-campus Student Employment on Handshake

submitted by tilton@augsburg.edu

Augsburg University Human Resources and the Strommen Career & Internship Services are pleased to announce that starting this fall, students will find all on-campus student positions posted through Handshake. Handshake was implemented July 2017 and is a platform for students to schedule career coaching appointments, register for events and fairs, search for jobs and internships off campus, and now find all on-campus student employment.

Human Resources will still be the main contact for student employment. Departments will continue to create requisitions, hire forms, student paperwork, etc. through Human Resources and Interview Exchange/Hirezon. You will still view applicants through Interview Exchange/Hirezon. This process has not changed.

What has changed is the link of how students find on-campus student jobs.

1. Log into: Inside Augsburg
2. Click On-Campus Student Jobs
3. First time users of Handshake will be asked to activate their account (this takes 90 seconds).
4. Select the On-campus box under Jobs tab, click search
5. Apply to jobs!

The Strommen Center would like to encourage staff and faculty when working with students to find employment opportunities, to have the student log into Handshake.

If staff or faculty would like a student account, so you can see what a student sees, please email careers@augsburg.edu and we will create an account for you.

Event Announcements

Augsburg press box named for Pastor Dave Wold on Saturday

submitted by stoner@augsburg.edu

MINNEAPOLIS — Augsburg University will be dedicating its press box at Edor Nelson Field in honor of the late Rev. Dave Wold during the Auggie football team’s home opener on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 1 p.m.

The ceremony to dedicate the Pastor Dave Wold Press Box will be held during halftime of Augsburg’s football game against Ripon (Wis.) at Edor Nelson Field. The event will also feature an all-class football team reunion. A lunch will be held in Murphy Square Park at 11:30 a.m., prior to the 1 p.m. kickoff.

Augsburg’s campus pastor from 1983 to 2013, Wold died on April 21, 2018 at age 72. In addition to his service to the Augsburg community as its faith leader, Wold was also a constant presence within the Augsburg athletics community, serving as public address announcer for the Auggies’ football, men’s basketball and wrestling home events, along with periodic events in many other sports. He also helped with the faith journeys of countless numbers of Augsburg student-athletes, not only during their years on the Minneapolis campus, but in their post-Augsburg days as alumni.

One of the unique traditions Wold created at Augsburg was the “Bunch of Guys Chorus,” the National Anthem singers at Augsburg home football and men’s basketball games. Before each game, Wold would invite any man in the crowd — singer or non-singer, Auggie or opponent alike — to meet either courtside or on the field to sing the National Anthem, with Wold leading the egalitarian group of singers with his booming bass voice.

For more information or to register for the event, contact Drew Privette in the Augsburg athletics office at 612-330-1249 or privette@augsburg.edu.
